“Memowraith” is a  portmanteau for the words Memory and Wraith, and is the title of my new collection of instrumentals, now available on Spotify, YouTube Music, Pandora and all streaming channels.

Memowraith drifts like a half-remembered dream, an instrumental transmission from somewhere between the past and the afterlife. Warm, warbling analog synths coil around haunting, detuned piano phrases, each note ringing out like a photograph left too long in the sun. The pulse comes from vintage drum machine sounds, tape-saturated, loose, and human, layered with soft hand percussion and glitching accents that feel as if they’ve been lifted from worn cassette recordings.

Every track sways with rhythmic nostalgia: loops that shimmer like old Super 8 film reels, melodies that fade in and out like someone walking through fog. Memory here is not static. It glitches, repeats, and decays, each cycle leaving behind a ghostly trace. Memowraith is a landscape where time folds in on itself, where the familiar becomes strange, and where the ghosts of our own recollections hum quietly in the background, waiting to be heard again.
